(Anna)We stepped outside to see who had arrived. All my senses were hyper aware and my free hand rested on my hidden gun in case it was the enemy again.Little Ollie was clinging to me like a monkey infant and was shivering.I felt him and his strong aura before I even set my eyes on the man. The force was something I had never experienced as I came face to face with him.Crystal clear blue eyes just like the vast sea behind him stared back at me like angered pits. The contours of his extremely handsome face were rugged and masculine. A sharp nose and pointed chin, just like a supermodel.I gulped and my eyes dipped to his overly muscled torso, his navy blue Ralph Lauren dress shirt was stretched along it, buttoned just to leave the upper two open revealing his corded chest.His sleeves were unbuttoned and rolled up enough to reveal his veiny forearms, his left hand was shoved deep into the pocket of his black slacks which covered his infinitely long and muscular legs.Woah! He was t
(Anna)The ship dropped me on the port of Crescent Island, that's where the headquarters of The Shadow had been built underground. The name was given because the island was shaped like a crescent moon and legend had it, it bristled with supernatural powers under the full moon.I made my way through the rocky topography of the island and finally arrived at the secret passageway that led inside the headquarters. I was drenched in sweat and my legs ached. Being human was not easy.Punching the codes I stepped inside as the metal door whirred making way for me. Claude must have seen me through the cameras for he came running like an over-excited child and welcomed me with open arms."You are back, how was the mission?" He hugged me while leading me inside the compound and into his lavishly decorated office with modern tech and comfortable leather sofas.He handed me my phone, I left it with him before heading out on this mission. The small hidden dash cam I had in my Apache sent the feed
(Anna)I took my time, investigating. Secretly heard people's conversations to learn where they stood on Noah and Ruby's tenure as Alpha and Luna.It wasn't difficult to conclude that most of the pack members weren't happy with how both of them were conducting pack business.To this date, the news that I had colluded with a rogue king to kill my father and his comrades was not confirmed because no one had found him.Also, the invitations which should have been extended to all the Alphas of Howler City were never sent out. This task had been given to Noah by my father. That's exactly the reason no one showed up when I came down for my party 6 years ago.It was showtime now as I had learnt that Alpha Lancelot, who was a former alpha of one of our neighbouring packs, Dark Moon Pack was having a birthday banquet. Alpha Lancelot was a close friend of my father's and had a standing in the Werewolf council.Noah and Ruby were attending to represent their packs and so was the mysterious Alpha
(Anna)I was perplexed and surprised at the same time to see that people who had known me since childhood were unable to recognise me but this kid who had only met me once was able to.Then I remembered how he had told his father my scent was unique to him.This must have been it."Ollie! You are here," I lovingly patted his head and he beamed back at me, still holding my leg and throwing me curious glances. Wondering why I was wearing a wig and lenses.Everyone around was stunned into silence watching the little guy being so affectionate. Someone murmured."Oliver doesn't even let anyone touch him and here he is holding her leg and calling her his wife. She must be close to the king.""Is she with the Alpha King?" Another whispered as all eyes were set on us.Ruby and Noah watched us sheepishly too. When one of the Alphas said, turning to Ruby."You should be ashamed of how you treated the King's guest.""You better apologise to the Alpha King," Alpha Lancelot asked Ruby in a stern v
(Anna)My job here was done. I had won the trust of most of the Alphas."Good night, Alpha Lancelot. I hope to meet you again." We shook hands."Likewise An, good night."I left the hotel feeling accomplished. I needed to buy myself an apartment and waited for Claude's message.As soon as he sent me the location of Mr Ludwig's current residence I smiled in satisfaction before going to bed.The next day I contacted a real estate agent so he could show me an apartment near the Vaium Sea. That's where Oliver's residence was. I had saved up ample money from missions to easily afford an apartment."You are a lucky lady, I have exactly the one you are looking for," the real estate agent gleefully said, opening the door of the apartment.It was a two-room fully furnished apartment built in a very modern design. The living room was spacious and it had an open kitchen. The windows of both bedrooms opened towards the sea, providing a picturesque view.The interior was all in pastel shades espec
(Asher)Anger surged through me like a live wire and my fists tightened in balls seeing her. I had come home from dealing with human clients all day. They had been a pain in the ass and found Oliver missing.One of my guards told me that Oliver was with that lady from the ship. I instantly ran here and now she was standing there looking all innocent.Who the hell she thought she was? I couldn't understand her deal.Changing her appearance to attend the party of Lancelot. Trying to cling to my son.And then there was this distinctive scent she possessed. A combination of cedarwood and lavender. Even Blaze raised his head and took a deep whiff every time she was in the vicinity.Her eyes were the clearest and deepest green as if the emeralds had been set up instead of her irises and that crimson of her hair resembled blood.Even in my angered state, I couldn't resist staring at her."I apologise, we met in the park and I invited Oliver over for some snacks. This is my apartment, luckily
After Oliver and his father had left, I changed.The man had totally ripped my dress and that soul-shattering kiss he gave me. No one had ever kissed me like that. It was like he wished to devour me.My skin still tingled from the after effects.Arrogant and broody down to the roots but man knew how to kiss. And I couldn't deny this attraction I felt for him. Every time he was in the vicinity I wanted to throw caution to the wind and jump his bones.It wasn't a sin to mix pleasure and work. The way he had reacted to me, I knew I could get in his pants.A girl had needs.I grabbed some dinner and tied up my apartment. Once I had settled, I fished out Noah's card and dialled his number.He picked up instantly, well that was easy."Hello! Alpha Carol speaking." His annoying voice came through."Hi! It's me, An from the party. I would like to meet you.""Hey! An, I am glad you called. Come tomorrow morning, I will wait for you."So desperate. Was he already tired of Ruby?"Meet you soon,"
(Anna)Ruby stared at me as if I was a ghost. The way her eyes kept scrutinising me in anger and surveying my body. I understood she knew I was Anna and she had connected the dots."You think I don't see through you? A mere rogue trying to sneak into my position." Ruby sneered at me. Taking a deep whiff. I knew she was trying to sniff my wolf, knowing too well what had been done to me.Satisfied with what she found, she turned to Noah."I hope you are not gullible enough to fall for her tricks.""What tricks? Anna is our guest," Noah asked in confusion while I tried to stay close to him."Guest? You barely know her, Noah. How can you trust a girl you randomly met for barely five minutes? I hope you don't end up getting deceived like the last time. Keep in mind, what happened to you. Do you want a repeat of that?" She shouted, angering Noah."Shut up, Ruby. Or I will forget you are my Luna. Reel in your tongue. You like it or not, An is here to stay," he almost raised his hand, shockin
